Abstract

Security is becoming one of the major issues that mobile users face. With their powerful devices, they are willing to take advantage of the wide range of services provided in mobile environments. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a solution to provide mobile users and service providers with security at different levels. Indeed, software policies enable each user/service provider to specify the rules for what they consider safe transactions. We also show that the addition of context information enhances security.
